This is really an excellent boutique hotel. As long as you can handle the slightly rough and tumble nature of the neighborhood that it is in (we had no troubles but this is not an elegant part of town), this is great value for money. Playfully decorated, the hotel looks good and has a light and colorful contemporary feel. The staff are super friendly and very nice. Our room was on the smaller side but it was fine and the bed was comfy. We did not experience noise from the bar/restaurant - we were on the 7th floor. Awesome Korres products were provided in the bathroom - these were much appreciated and good to see local Greek companies being championed. The breakfast is particularly delicious and the fresh orange juicer is a nice and unusual touch. The breakfast room is also beautifully decorated. When we were there, Xmas decorations were up and this was very nice. There is a small, clean and modern gym which I used and was quite happy with. All in all, a very good experience.

We spent four nights (2 separate visits of 2 nights) at the Fresh Hotel in Athens while on our trip to Greece. The hotel is very nice, with modern elements and nice amenities, including free Wi-Fi. The rooftop bar is beautiful with a great view to the city and a decent view to the Acropolis (there's a building on the way). The hotel offers complimentary breakfast, which is very good. They offer a good selection of juices, fruits, pastries, and hot and cold dishes. The rooms were nice, spacious, and very clean. The view from the two rooms we stayed in were not great, but that's okay as we were out in the city most of the time or in the hotel's rooftop when there.

The location is convenient for setting off for sightseeing during the day and going to dinner at night. We read a lot about the location being shady. It's true that the immediate area is not pretty and that there's graffiti and some garbage bags along the sidewalks. But that's not any different than what you'll see in some streets in the Lower East Side, Grenage Village, or Meatpacking areas in NYC. If you're from a big city, you won't think twice about it. Use a little common sense and you'll be fine. My girlfriend and I had no issues walking to/from Plaka for dinner at night.

The staff was nice and helpful. In one of our check outs, there was a taxi strike and we had to get a private car to the airport. They helped us out in allowing us to bill the car to the room.

The only complaint that we have is that they were not consistent with the welcoming. The first time we checked in, they gave us a complimentary water bottle and some sweets in the room. When we came back a week later, we didn't get anything. Bummer! But everything else was fine.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Fresh Hotel. We'd stay there again and recommend to anyone going to Athens.

A great choice in Athens, in a cool part of town with lots going on. The rooms are minimalist but smart with very comfortable beds, great pillows and linen, ultra-modern bathrooms with Korres toiletries and small balconies. A nice breakfast buffet with a selection of hot items (eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, etc) plus the famed "orange squishing machine" which is always full of fruit and was well used while we were there! The bar on the 9th floor, with views over the whole city and the Acropolis, is spectacular, and the cocktails are very well made. The pool looked great (was too cold to use it while we were there) and I'd imagine this would be quite a hot spot during the warmer months. Friendly service, too. Recommended!

Great location, walking distance to Acropolis, near the public market and a great rooftop patio with panoramic views of the city, as room views are of backs of buildings and alleys. Small but clean rooms, not many in room amenities (including no english TV channels) but comfortable beds and excellent front desk service. Good variety at breakfast included in room price.

Ask Girly-Avanter about Fresh Hotel

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

I'm one of these fussy people that can let little annoyances get to me. But at Fresh it was the little things that made me happy. The room was clean; décor was simple, funky, modern; toiletries were gorgeous; breakfast was excellent; the gym was decent and the staff were AMAZING.

Heaps of people here seem concerned about the location. I was really happy with it. It was very central with great views of the Acropolis, easy access to restaurants and close to the metro/airport train. I'm a petite female and had no problems walking around at night - although I did avoid the somewhat ominous dark alleyways next to the hotel.

If I HAD to find a couple of criticisms they would be that the hotel meals are a little pricey (but not ridiculously so) and sauna/steam rooms didn't seem to be operating.

In summary, I loved it here. I feel really grateful for the great service and I will DEFINITELY stay again.
